- Reason Magazine Book Review: Poor Marcus Yallow. After tangling with the Department of Homeland Security in Cory Doctorow’s earlier young adult novel, 2007’s Little Brother, he wants nothing more than a job, time with his girlfriend, and some fun at the annual Burning Man festival. Fortunately for the reader, trouble soon finds Yallow in Homeland, Doctorow’s sequel. An acquaintance, Masha, gives him a USB stick with a cryptographic key that will unlock a four-gigabyte file of secret government documents. Masha tells him to release its contents if she’s ever arrested. All too soon, Yallow sees Masha and her boyfriend being captured and taken away by Carrie Johnstone, the chief villain in Little Brother, so he’s faced with taking responsibility for a document dump he didn’t ask for that promises problems he didn’t need.
